Chapter 126
**Logan**
A small knock sounds at my office door. I look up from my laptop to see who it is. Stood in a pair of skinny navy jeans and a red vest top is Megan. I give her a small smile as I notice she looks upset. From what the staff have told me she hasn't slept the past two days. Apparently, she's been in the games room all night playing different games.
"Are you ok?" I ask. She shrugs and sits in the chair in front of my desk. "I got everything we need to get my uncle off our backs," I state. "Do you want to see?" I ask. She shakes her head and pulls her legs up so her knees sit just under her head.
"Can I stay in here?" she asks.
"Yeah sure, I'm just answering a few emails," I answer.
"Thanks," she says resting her head on her knees and wrapping her arms around her knees. I watch as her eyes close heavily and then open to look at me.
"Did you speak to Melanie?" I ask her. It has been two days since Melanie kissed her.
"No not yet, I tried to but she is avoiding me," she pauses "I don't know what to do about her, I'm not exactly angry at her, I just want to know what she's thinking,"
"She'll come see you when she's ready, Carl did the same thing with me, the first time he tried to kiss me," I say to her showing her I understand her dilemma at the moment.
Ten minutes pass by and I've answered three out of the ten emails I need to answer. I look up from my computer screen to Megan, to see she's asleep. I smile a little and stand up to put the blanket that's on the couch over her.
"Is Miss Wright asleep?" I hear David ask.
"Yeah,"
"She hasn't slept for the past two days, she was looking for you last night and the night before,"
"I know, I was forced into a conference call last night and the night before I can't even remember," I say rubbing my head.
"That's what drugs do to you," he states and I look up at him.
"I haven't-"
"I found them, Logan," he says cutting me off.
"I didn't have any, I had weed instead," I argue.
"Good," he says "I have sorted everything out for your return back to America, my wife took the news better than I expected she's actually very excited to be going," he states and I smile a I knew that if she wasn't on board he wouldn't be returning with me.
"And your children?" I ask
"They don't seem too bothered with them both been in university they're happy to spend their summers in America," he answers.
"Good, I'm sure they will enjoy it," I say and look towards Megan.
Sometimes I feel so helpless when it comes to her. Everything I do seems to be wrong, I want nothing more than to make her happy but I know I'm failing. I'm constantly worried about her. Worried that one day I'll wake up and she won't be here, that she has left me or worse taken her own life. It's hard at the moment not been able to hold her when she needs me.
"She'll be ok," David says getting my attention. I look at him and he gives me a reassuring smile. "I'm more worried about you," he states.
"I'm ok, I just feel helpless most of the time and I don't like it, I want to help her but I don't know how, sometimes I feel like I'm making her worse," I explain.
"Sometimes things have to get worse for them to get better," he replies to me and I look at him.
"Is that your quote of the day," I ask jokingly to him. He smiles and shakes his head at me as he walks out.
Walking towards Megan, I kneel down in front of her and move her hair out of her face. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps, it's my favourite of her looks. Moving my arm under her legs and then the other to her back I slowly pick her up. She stirs and moves her arms around my neck.
"Don't leave me alone," she says as she rests her head on my shoulder.
"Never," I say and lay her on the couch and she pulls me down with her. I smile and move down the side of her, she lets go and turns on her side so we're now spooning. "Better?" I ask. She nods and moves her hands to my arms that are around her.
"When we go back home I want to be home-schooled," she suddenly says. I frown and sit up to look down at her.
"Why?" I ask.
"With Benjamin out on the loose I think I'd feel safer at home," she states not looking at me. I sigh and lay back down. Having this conversation now isn't the best time, we both need some sleep and if I'm honest with myself I don't really see it being a bad idea.
"If that's what you want I'll arrange it," I say moving my arms back around her. She turns and looks at me. A smile clear on her face.
"Thank you," she says and kisses me on the lips.
"Although," I say while pulling away, "it will have to be an ugly old man or a female one," I joke. "You know with teachers being your type," I joke and she giggles and pulls me on top of her.
"I think you'll find I only have eyes for one person in my life," she states causing me to smile as I kiss her back.
"Good, I get jealous very easily," I explain against her lips and then kiss down her neck, she relaxes in my arms and runs her hands through my hair. I pull away and look at her and smooth her hair from her face as I admire her beauty.
The yellow flecks in her eyes just make her eyes glow, she has a small smattering of freckles over the top of her nose, only small, unnoticeable unless you're this close to her. Her whole body is pressed against mine, every inch of her is just perfect in my eyes. Looking at her I wonder if she will ever see herself the way I see her.
"What's wrong?" she asks with a tilt of her head.
"Nothing," I say with a small smile and kiss her cheek. "You should get some rest," I state as I lay at the side of her. She sits up to let me lay down on my back to have her lay her head on my chest.
